Delhi:Restrictions Tightened on Journalists Covering Parliamentary Proceedings

New Delhi: This picture was taken today within the Parliament House complex, where new restrictions on journalists covering parliamentary proceedings have been imposed. Initially, cameras were banned, leading reporters to conduct interviews using their phones. Now, access to the 'Makar Dwar' has also been restricted.

'Makar Dwar' was a key location where MPs would stand and speak with the media. This latest restriction has sparked protests among journalists, including many prominent figures. Senior journalist Prabhakar Mishra from News 24, who covers the Supreme Court, speculates that opposition leaders used to stand at 'Makar Dwar' to speak with the media, often criticizing the government. Some media outlets would broadcast these criticisms, which might be a reason behind the new restrictions.
